Video Course: Neck Essentials: Navigating This Complex Region
Whitney Lowe, Ruth Werner
Neck pain is one of the most common complaints massage therapists encounter. Safe and effective treatment of neck problems requires a deep understanding of the region's complex anatomy, common injuries, and evidence-informed therapeutic approaches. In this dynamic course, Whitney Lowe and Ruth Werner teach the structures of the cervical region, endangerment sites, and key pathologies that contribute to neck dysfunction, while reviewing what the evidence says about manual therapies and neck pain. This course was featured during the ABMP CE Summit: Neck event.
NOTE: If you attended the entirety of this course during the ABMP CE Summit event, and the course status is showing as "Purchased," and you do not see the quiz on the page under "CE Questions," please refresh your internet page!
